Materials That Match Your Style

Wood, Composite & More

Choosing the right material is key to a successful custom deck. We offer cedar and pressure-treated wood for natural charm, and composite options like Trex and TimberTech for long-lasting durability. Many homeowners choose hybrid builds, combining wood framing with composite surfaces for the best of both worlds. Whatever you decide, we’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each option to make the right choice.

Decks That Last Through Every Season

Minnesota’s climate can be tough on decks. Our custom designs include frost-depth footings, reinforced framing, and drainage solutions to prevent water damage. We also add protective finishes, ventilation, and spacing to minimize warping from freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you choose cedar for natural beauty or composite for low maintenance, our builds are engineered for long-term strength.

Details That Make a Difference

Railings, Stairs & Custom Features

The finishing touches matter just as much as the foundation. Our team designs and installs custom railings, stairs, pergolas, and built-in seating to create a space that’s safe and beautiful. We also offer lighting, privacy screens, and outdoor kitchens for a truly personalized build. Every detail is designed to enhance comfort, safety, and style.
